Yeah yeah yeah yeah, whatever _r.u.s.s., that won't help me put them tires on my new Corolla.
Nor will it help me play my ol'ACDC audio cassettes on my state-of-the-art brandnew secondhand CD player.
Come on, is it so much asked to be able to use all my ol absolete stuff on todays gear?
And I want to be able to use my Tandy Basic data cassettes in my Vista PC darned!!!!
And why can my CP/M programs not run on a 64 bits system?
And ......etcetera.
